I wish I still had my dual holster rig Hopalong Cassidy pellet gun revolver set from 1952. I was plinking old cans at 15 yards with those guns at 8 years old.
Although this is definitely not appropriate today, I cannot help but feel some significant nostalgia for how things USED to be as portrayed in today’s Bushmiller comic of Nancy.
Yes, I know tobacco is wretched and horrible in reality. But, 50, 60, or more years ago…. tobacco was just a normal and regular part of everyday life. The same is true for the cowboy/western play as well.
Today’s standards are of course different. But it does not mean back then was all bad either. I am sure there are plenty of things that we do today that will be shown in the future generation or two to have been hideously unwise or inappropriate in some way. I think we need to accept that these generational differences will evolve… but also we need to work at accepting the intent of the way things were in the bygone era as well. Viewing the intent in the eye of that time helps us to see things more gently.

They knew as early as the 1920’s that tobacco kills with cancer.
